to goes without saying, nato was a very aggressive military alliance who would have thought that at the core of its belief system was believing in unicorns the bike administration's decision, just a cluster bombs. ukraine demonstrates this. the, the headlines would offer you the national, as the criminal reveals of vladimir putin did meet with the lead all the fog. no group on this come on is just gay, eats off of their attempted music. as we understand, the russian president essentially discuss the best faith washington's decisions, a green light cluster, munitions, the key of stoked anger, and a host of countries including russia and china and kind of bodies, but also some of america's closest names. so i like russia, china relations are rough, solid, and a cooperation between the 2 will only be intensified. that's the message from the

russian parliament, shy women off. it holds in china with the press the well, you won't be hearing any mainstream narrative on this channel. and that's probably why your with us welcome to your news, an audience. and so the kremlin has revealed, the president putin did meet with the leadership of the wagner private committed to your company, including his chief gift, any pedagogy and just 5 day softer they attempted musing, they lost my the president had such a meeting, he invited $35.00 people to it's all the commanders of the group and its leadership, including pre gordon himself. the meeting took place in the kremlin on june 29th. it lasted almost 3 hours. the president gave him the assessment of the groups actions on the front, as well as in the assessment of the events of june 24th. so as we heard from the press secretary himself, the russian president, vladimir,

put and has met with the commander in chief of the wagner groups. if going to the golgi in just 5 days after the attempted new and you know, the president has also listened to the explanations of the commanders and has offered him foreman to them. the commanders express their point of views on the events and has said that they are loyal to rush and that they're ready to fight for the motherland. none the less now, just a little bit of background on them. you in the, the attempted new and itself last month, the wagner group has more on the way to the kremlin, when, thankfully, by, thanks to a do, brokered by bell russian president, alexander lucas chunk of the rebellion failed. yeah. and so the west has been talking about this now for weeks. what are they saying about the consequences to russia? now it is very interesting to note that the western media has taken this whole situation way out of proportions, claiming that this is the start of the, in the broad shops that russia is unstable. they're also saying that wagner's live

in africa is a sign of moscow purging the roof. that clouds are hovering over wagner's operations in africa. but it's really interesting to see that the west has demonized any russian presence in africa really, but it really looks like a frequent themselves do open the russian presidency in their continents. as we see, the adviser to president of the central african republic has said that if it's not wagner anymore, they send bass, oven or mozart. it does not matter. we will take them. so it really seems like, despite the immunization of the 5, no good. yeah. or the russian presents in africa be advertise themselves, seem to be very open to it. now the western media has also plains, that there is chaos in russia, but we knew it looks like we have the russian president who seems to be very open to this. got to discussing the issues and what happened and to listen to the commanders and their point of views as well. and to present their versions of the,

of what happened now. also, the russian president, as you've been addressed as to the nation previously after this rebellion and has also given 3 options to the commanders of the wagner group. either you go to the russia or you sign a contract with the ministry of defense, or you just go home. but what was the offer is that, well my and my e shar, speaking only with my colleague fyodor isabel. meanwhile, russia and china have slammed us decision to setting these custom munitions to ukraine. representatives from the country suggests that a washington's disregard for the inevitable civilian deaths caused by the weapons constitutes a war crime and simply as fuel to the fire. i don't kind of the has the fact to confess to committing bull crimes by the united states during the crating conflicts he agrees stated that civilians would die from american costs and type munitions and the perverse of view of the white house employee. this brings less home,

then rushes actions irresponsible transfer of cluster munitions can easily lead to humanitarian problems. relevant parties should not a fuel to the fire, exacerbate contradictions leading to an aggravation of the ukrainian crisis. let's say this conversation further here on out to you right now in the course of a to a benjamin child areas from the center for china. i'm globalization, benjamin a very well welcome to you in a very good evening as well. this is a bit of a controversial story. certainly another world power is questioning washington's joys to send cluster munitions to you, credited to do you think coming? will there be any impact of to beijing? his voice, his concerns to washington. i think the washington is not going to change is decision because uh, the view has changed. u. k. forces are running desperately low on the i to, to rece shelves. and the ukraine's western allies cannot replace them at a speed they're needed. so that's why the us is now leading to

restart your supplies of cuts, the munitions so that the russian different treat lending or those so defense, the changes in something and is 10 u. k. i can be can be targeted. well, there's been a lot of pushback from a number of a key allies all of the united states, a lot of them saying that this is no good for us. and in fact, the latest i've, i've gone online out of the danish refugee council quarterly, the transfer of cluster bombs, a breach of international law, and illegal. what, what does that say benjamin about, i guess the unity of western partners when it comes to dc sending what is supposed to be hundreds of thousands of these many bump minutes into the conflicts on as well. i'd be really if, if we, we understand what a custom munition is. uh, it is understandable why there is a streets in the west right now. custom,

munitions, disparate, large number of tiny bomb that's in the flight oh, by wide area. but as it can portion of them don't, expert initially and then could even explore years up to when pick up or step on a. and then that would, you know, some victim civilians, especially kids who think that they are their toys. and this time, we really see those to split into western allies because now or where the more than 100 countries, including the u. k. funds in germany have already signed an international treaty. the so called the convention on cost of munitions that our last to use or start piling up these weapons due to the indiscriminate dfcs on city and populations. yeah, i mean, this is one of the things that i, benjamin, that the so many people have said that these bom looks, that they can last but many, many years off to the conflict. and when they say that when this essentially, this dismissal opens up and all these buttons that are released,

some of them go into trees and bushes and sit there for years until, for example. yeah, i don't know. i don't know dining. and jan if i take the kids out for a will they take the dogs out for a walk and what happens? opponent goes off and the family goes to devastate. i mean, this is the kind of stuff the media doesn't want to talk about. i mean, the long lasting effects of very, very wiring. but what do you make of the commenting joe biden? in the past 24 hours, he was walking past reporters in washington. one of the reporters said, why are we sending cluster munitions to ukraine? and by and as he was walking away, simply said, we've run out of ammo. so is it how is that? how it is benjamin the america runs out of ammo is so it then increases the leaf style, etc. of the weapons that it's sending to other parts of the world. but this is really a usa policy. the us now is the plan ukraine, the what the us court just months ago, more crime weapons. so it would really be curious for us to hear what moral grounds,

reasons, washington, what supply does con, especially so much of the previous us supply weapons, according to the black markets in ukraine, we must question how much cost of the u. s. set has asked me, we're going to pay attention to how effective it will be is the $1.00 of the things that we should have benjamin, you know, washington keeps saying over the pasta 18 months. i'm all that. okay, that we're not going to send the patriot missile systems to ukraine, but they send the patriot missed office. and so you kind of say, we're not going to send the a room times. they send the different times. they say we're not going to send the f sixteens. guess what? we know how this story plays out. is that, do you think what we have to expect next off to the cluster bombs? now come the f. 16. well, i think is really a slippery slope. i think the us is going to, you know, just not applying to the i promise because we see one time out the end. and not that the us britain is promise to do, to cross the line, to uh,

to eat well in a sense to prolong the war game. the current situation, the, the head of the delegation of peace, thoughts in vienna that russia is that mister got for the law office said the key. evan washington don't have an appetite right now to engage in peace folks to resolve the conflict in ukraine. why do you think gabrielle upset that why do you think he said that the key and washington have no desire to pursue peace right now as well? we are, it is increasingly yeah. so what's gonna happen now? we are seeing that the us is winning a lot of contracts to rebuild the infrastructure of ukraine. so i think it is in the interest of some of the interest drop in the us or the west to see even more damage to be done in ukraine. so that they could get the contract

will be in ukraine later on. i professor benjamin child from the pirate school, the technology and business joining us live here, winowski international. appreciate your insight on your time. thank you. thank you . well meantime, the south east asian nation of cambodia has also condemned the us cost plan. that's prime minister who sent and never called a deadly effects of the bottoms that rain down on the region during the 1970s, with the repercussions still being felt so day that has been use released that the united states will provide cost to bones to ukraine, to flight the russian army, cambodia has had his own painful experience of these from the 1970s. when americans use the cost of items, it has been more than half a century now. but we are still looking for ways to destroy them all. cambodia allow, and vietnam were fine to buried in millions of these types of munitions. a lot of these munitions are still scattered across the territory and they kill people every

single year in cambodia. i believe it's been about 20000 people killed since the end of the war from these unexploded ordnance. and what people need to remember is that cambodia and 5 minutes are going send specifically sided with you. craig, at the beginning of the special military operation has been supporting ukraine all along. so you could say that russia and china being against that. that's one thing . but this is a country that has supported ukraine, and they are condemning this move by the united states to send them these cluster munitions there, estero design their mit meant to be real boston survive under combat conditions. there's always going to be a certain percentage of them that failed to explode and they will persist in the environment unexploded until disturbs because they're made out of modern materials . it's, it's not as if they're going to bio di grade and so they are a persistent threat for years actually. that case, that keeps the com. yeah, as you just heard, right back,

how about here is just one of the many countries that still suffers from unexplained munitions left behind from previous conflicts. and the

washington's are comfortable and research and it does come just days before the nato. somebody kicks off in lithuania, however, this whole cost to bump maneuver. it has to expose cracks in the otherwise unbroken alliance. that's a good the take on this with on caesar, rachel most. it seemed like a pretty straightforward mission. us president joe biden just had to get onto air force one and show up here in europe this week for the nato summit in lithuania, for the usual photo op, where he and other western leaders could all just ramble on about how united they are over ukraine the usual stuff, but it was also going to make a pit stop

a route to this meeting in london on monday to hang out with british prime minister . reach you soon. ok, maybe try to keep deflecting any talk of that trade deal that the us promise britain. if it's secured its breakfast, divorced from the u. then he was supposed to hang out with king charles, whose coordination fight in this because while he's 80 and probably needed his beauty rest, maybe he was just still too tired from the white house. easter april 5 is visit, was supposed to be a big chance for king charles to showcase is climate change projects and leverage biden's presence to philanthropist. and investors seems pretty simple right. what could possibly go wrong? well, how about the fact that right before the trip fighting stumbled to the podium and announced that washington would be sending ukraine cluster munitions. now that might not go over too well with king charles or the royal family. given that the late princess diana made campaigning against landmines precisely like these

wonderful life clauses. by an effective we cluster, gone his own trip with the cluster munitions, as you capable of blowing up in his own face at any time, as allies are already condemning to move spain based on the firm commitment it has with ukraine also has a firm commitment that certain weapons in bonds cannot be delivered under any circumstances, no, to cluster bombs, and yes, to the legitimate defense of ukraine, which we understand should not be carried out with cluster bombs. i have followed the media reports for us as a state park, the, the oslo agreement on the conventional and cluster munitions applies. the year k is signature you to a convention which prohibits the production will use of cluster munitions and discourages that use. now what remains to be seen is how many of these allies are actually voided call by didn't know to his face. we're talking here about weapons that are banned by a legally binding international treaty signed by these allies,

but not by the us, russia or ukraine. these any additions though are dropped in containers of hundreds, most of which explode on impact, but some of which don't. so instead they end up setting into the ground and exploding on innocent civilians years later and often are children who mistake them for toys. but apparently, the pentagon isn't really that good at seeing the big picture. i'm as concerned about the humanitarian circumstance as anybody. but the worst thing for civilians in ukraine is for russia to win the war. and so it's important that they don't. so in this guy's logic, it would be a big wind for ukraine if the country was literally littered with time bombs that could blow up on its citizens at any time in the future. as long as that means having a long shot at defeating russia on the battlefield. sounds exactly like the kind of foresight that the pentagon is shown and pretty much every single one of its recent

failed for and wars. the binder ministration itself was against cluster munitions before they were for them, even qualifying their use as a war crime just last year for some legal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs being used by the russians. if that's true, what is the next step of this in ministration? is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against billions in this manner? that's illegal to potentially it is. it would be, i don't have any confirmation of that. we have seen the reports. if, if that were true, it would potentially be a work crime. this open source reporting highlights the use of cluster bombs by russian forces in several populated areas, including, hama and edward's tax. using these in precise weapons, only continue to cause a necessary so where the russians have been indiscriminate, they've been reckless in syria. they seem to have no difficulty

dropping cluster munitions around we're civilians. may be nemo, ukrainian, president, 5 years liskey is touring around the world like his taylor swift without any costume changes, of course. and well, he just is fresh off of flop and bulgaria. there's a conflict. this conflict has no military solution. i do not accept the provision of munition, especially if it is from the reserves of the old german army. because like you, i am the president and supreme commander. and i have clear responsibilities not to weaken the defense capabilities of demo gary nomics, you know, to go see that remark, set zalinski off on the tantrum in which he accused russia of wanting to destroy nato europe, the european union, and bulgaria. maybe you should just focus a bit more on what washington is busy doing to his own country right now. and all of it with his full blessing,

musical chairs in beijing as less than 24 hours off of the us treasury secretary flew out of china. moscow flies in with a tri women of rushes off, a chamber of parliament joining the chinese president for talks. and the pat issued a series of state. the chinese russian relations show a favorable trend for full fledged stable development were steadily promot cooperation in all areas. strengthening the social and civil basis of our friendship. they keep take away, ease of china will continue to foster cooperation with russia and preserve the friendship that exist between our nations. china embodies the strong and friendly shoulder rush. i can rely on the head of the russian delegation here. uh, volume team that might be i'm cause been hard at work since the entire delegation arrived here in beijing on sunday evening. she's. it's actually just met with the chinese president. she's in paying instead of meeting went very well. both sides

agreed to continue their long standing strategic partnership based on mutual respect, mutual cooperation, and mutual game as 2 of the very few countries left in the world that are truly solver. and according to what might be uncle said, now she also called, she's in pain, a very wise leader who's dedicated to a lot of the same things that russia is dedicated to actually as well, in terms of, of course, preventing for an interference in the domestic affairs of independent countries and again, dedication to the sovereignty of one's own country, russia, russia, chinese cooperation is something that the head of the russian delegation not only said is good now, but he's also looking towards a very bright new future as well. i mean, one of the short term, at least indications of that is the fact that trade volume between china and russia is set to exceed $200000000000.00 worth before the end of the year. so that's a big milestone. and other than that, my monthly income also met with the head of china's national people's congress

today. and she also saw the museum of the chinese communist party here, which had many relics of government importance. according to the chinese government, it's a very high profile museum. so this was really if i very high profile visit, that's going to continue for another several days. and it actually comes not too long after a number of visits by us officials here to china and there, which were attempts to sort of revive relations between the united states and china, which had been at a low that hasn't been seen in decades as a result. of disagreements connected to a security and of course, over taiwan for example, nancy pelosi is visited taiwanda, the chinese government in light very much one of these high profile visits by us policy, by us officials that i mentioned was a recent visit by the us finance secretary janet yelling, who actually said that the chinese side was pretty worried about talks of

potentially decoupling the chinese economy from the american economy. but she said that there was some sort of difference between the coupling and what she explained as the risking. although the specifics we did not exactly here, there was another high profile visit from us secretary of state anthony, blinking a little bit before yelman's visit, which also yielded very few results. but it is noteworthy to say that joe biden called seizing paying very controversially a dictator, not too long after that meeting came to its conclusion. so the contradiction between these american visits to china and the russian visits a visit to china that we're seeing now, which is looking very, very productive in comparison. it just goes to show that there's a lot of opportunity for russia in china to a deep in the strategic partnership that's already very wide and in many sectors of both economies in the country and more out of aging is china issues of wanting to america and other far inactive to stay out of the countries domestic affairs,

it comes off to us and boy met with the bets spiritual lead of the dalai lama in india is capital. the 2 beds affairs are purely internal affairs of china and no extra nal forces have the right to interfere to us should take concrete actions to honor its commitment of acknowledging to bed as part of china. stop middling and sean, his internal affairs, under the pretext of 2 bed related issues and offer no support to the anti china, separate his activities of the dollar. a clique that's about has been an integral part of china for much of the past millennium. any denial of its staff as part of china is considered an interference in domestic affairs. that's according to the chinese constitution. no country congress, he recognizes the region as an independent state and political unless it's into suicide. while washington has been warned by others to stay clear of the issue, it's the us strategic competition with china. it's actually driving this policy.

you know that data when did you as a source, s k, sorry, quote and quote. this concern about searching regency and assessing countries. usually people say you've got to be careful because that usually that's a stick you know, mean to be or is that mean to know if there's of under the countries. um, you know, the right now if you look at the macro use side of the relationship, but the us is that at using the own words you do in a school competition with china. let's make it to, you know, clear to us, the 3, everything possible to slow down the development of china. all they can be is the innovation or the chinese or high tech industry, so as to maintain the global dominance. so, as mentioned in the us, the gemini, in order to achieve that goal, the us, he's not only so the pricing, the chinese, you know, companies, chinese, developmental ways of the economic cost. and,

you know, basically putting 1000 champ company and to the us that blacklist, they are also using basically all these issues. so sample taiwan, hong kong, seen yeah. now to bad weaponized issues of basic lineup. and then you go to, to further tanya, image of china or some type of the bottom and up china. that's, you know, i think the big picture, if people want them, you understand bash or about the us moves that they need to understand is the big picture that even us the 3 everything possible to slow down to keep trying it down that he's at the nature of this relationship right now. now jerry is president, has been elected as the chairman for the economic community of west african states, otherwise known as a co boss, leading the group of more than a dozen countries voted to new both sides of the regional security. it's about the top of page i really

wish is it one into a slight chance that people have somebody and no more than glad back because seats like to listen to the dog. and therefore when i, during president problem to take a tough stalling, some political people in west africa about 3 countries of the region have undergone, who was in recent years of molly getting and fuck you know, fast. so the economic block has called on the military leadership in those countries to comply with deadlines of transferring power to civilian leaders. and abraham, a lot of a political science professor and nigeria says the alliance plays an important role in the region. and nigeria is contribution is critical it is very important because the continent for single united front before the audience in

touch and nigeria as the on the power show that's more than $0.75 because it is supposed to be equal associated using that junior 80 serviced by measure and the budget to get under cation of the cost is also shown that disproportionate by not just this has nothing to say that the inputs of not getting viewed some benefit. no, no data is really at the expense. so 40000 feet with all the inputs midland, there may be that corporations, one of these countries against the dictates of the page for the states of west africa, suggested in the on such as nigeria, such as the diagnostic and gum. yeah, i don't. so i cannot, julia, we had our own corporation. we have our own examination for the 3 point that i was supposed to, and i did ask him to see the region was midway. why?

i've been reduced group points, you know, a story that surface recently out of africa involves the discovery of allegedly, the world's biggest ever gold deposit in uganda. stymied at 13 trillion dollars, but who is going to get that hands on it. fair to say china probably has the most economic contracts with uganda. they're all already voices in washington dc, talking about human rights violations and uganda and you know what comes next stuff . the allegations like more online on the the

goes without saying nature was a very aggressive military alliance. who would have thought that at the core of its belief system was believing in uniforms, the biking ministrations decisions just a cluster bombs. ukraine demonstrates this the the.
